Poverty in the United States: Developing Social Welfare Policy for the Twenty-First Century

By Andrew W. Dobelstein

This book attributes American poverty to consequences 19th Century social welfare policies within an economy stretching to meet its 21st Century economic potential, arguing that American poverty persists as economic and political structures have moved into the world of fiscal planning but social welfare remains in its Depression-era structure.
